“Education Advanced and Standard for Success have aligned cultures and a shared sense of purpose,” said Education Advanced CEO Dr. Eli Crow. “Together we offer an unparalleled commitment to K-12 education. By joining forces, we will help schools better plan for the future by growing teachers, improving the feedback process, giving time back to administrators, and ensuring students are on the right path to meet their academic goals.”

This acquisition brings together a vast network of K-12 schools, a strong customer base, and recognized excellence in the EdTech industry. The solutions built by SFS complement the existing EAI product line, which offers tools to streamline operations and increase efficiency for K-12 school districts. The EAI expanded product suite now includes subscription software to help with master scheduling, staff planning, assessment coordination, student graduation tracking, and educator growth.

• Cardonex is a patented web-based master schedule builder and staffing tool that optimizes secondary master schedules and maximizes the use of secondary teaching staff.
• TestHound is a comprehensive K-12 assessment operations solution that centralizes student data from disconnected systems into a single platform for efficient test coordination.
• Evaluation is a solution for documenting every step of the staff evaluation process, including walk-throughs, self-evaluations, supporting evidence, reporting and performance analytics.
• Pathways is a graduation tracking tool that allows administrators and counselors to create, track, and analyze graduation pathways to ensure secondary students are on track to graduate.

“In the detailed internal discussions on how to grow the impact of SFS’s products, it became clear that the combined resources of our talents could have a much greater influence together than we could independently,” said Standard for Success CEO Todd Whitlock. “The team that Eli has put together is led by educators and that passion for education matched our mantra. I am excited to see what problems this dynamic team can solve for educators and continue to impact the efficiency of the business of 'education' to drive success for students and educators.”

The acquisition of SFS aligns with EAI's mission to empower educators and students with technology-enabled solutions that improve teaching and learning outcomes. Equipping educators with time and cost-saving technology will transform schools by enabling teachers and staff to focus more of their attention and resources on preparing students for a successful future. EAI offer a comprehensive suite of solutions to help K-12 schools and districts streamline operations, increase efficiency, and support student success.
